Multiple parameters?

[ErrorEater]

Is it possible to post by multiple parameters or we have to still create transport objects?

[HttpPost]
public string PostMultipleSimpleValues(string name, int age, DateTime entered, string action = null)
{
return string.Format("Name: {0}, Age: {1}, Date: {2}, Action: {3}", name, age, entered, action);
}

It's certainly possible to bind multiple parameters to portions of a form submission. Are you seeing a problem?

Posting with url encoding works but posting json doesn't map to parameters.

---

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
name=john&age=21

This one works.

---

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
"name": "john",
"age": 21
}

This one doesn't work.

@aliveli186 a JSON request body is a single serialized object and must be mapped to a single action parameter. So this behaviour is by design. In your case, the following would work.

[HttpPost]
public string PostMultipleSimpleValues([FromBody] User user)
{
    // ...
}

public class User
{
   public string Name { get; set; }
   public int Age { get; set; }
   public DateTime Entered { get; set; }
   public string Action { get; set; }
}

Thank you.
I came from WCF background, there this was not an issue.

yes [FromBody] certainly works!
